There was a weekend?

I missed it.

I had to work a few hours on Saturday and combined with the long drive to and from, I hardly had any "off" time that day. When I did get home I got busy and did fun chore type things. You know. Laundry. Vacuuming. Dishes. Those kinds of chores.

I even cleaned all McSucker's cups and filters. One of the filthier jobs of the day. I took a picture of all his guts laid out on my counter to dry because I know ya'll love that kind of crap. But I left my camera at home because I am lame.

Also, I roasted a chicken. First one I've ever done so I'm kind of proud of myself. It was way super easier than I'd always imagined. Probably the hardest part was when I was rubbing the butter/brown sugar mixture on it and couldn't get the butter to stick in places.  I didn't get it in the oven until around 7 that night so unfortunately it wasn't done in time for supper. BUT...the DP and I had a nice little late night feast while I was carving it up to put it way at 10pm. :)

Yesterday (Sunday) was the usual church, lunch with folks thing. Mama went to visit my grandparents so
Daddy and I watched Unknown (Liam Neeson thriller) on DVD. He actually stayed awake through (almost) the entire thing! Must've been a good movie. Or maybe it was the ice cream sandwiches we ate that kept him awake.

Anyway, it was a nice restful day.

For some reason this season I've gotten hooked on Food Network Star. I don't think I've watched any seasons except for the year that Aaron McCargo Jr. aka Big Daddy won and I SO did not like him because he was a bit of a snot. (Still can't stand to watch his show. Blech!) But I've been watching this season and enjoying it. Mostly because I like to make fun of some of the people. But also because Bobby Flay acts all badass and it's kinda hot. AND...I'm kinda crushing on Jeff.

I dreamed about it last night. Actually, I dreamed I was a competitor. Sadly, I got eliminated. Guess my roasted chicken wasn't THAT good. :-(

Morning came early, unfortunately, and I'm dragging. Thankfully, I'm taking off at 10 tomorrow for a little R&R with the babies. Emmy's coming at some point tomorrow (was supposed to be today, dag-gummit!) so thought we'd do fun stuff. Take the little ones to Micky D's playplace for lunch. Grab some fro-yo at the new place in town. Maybe do a little shopping for Lyssa's birthday party in a couple of weeks. Sis2 hasn't even STARTED planning it. Bad sis.

Sheesh! Was that a totally rambling post or what?



Anyhoo, since my Monday headache is starting to rage at me, Imma go in search of some Advil and maybe a Coke or something. Or some cookies. Yeah, cookies'll cure what ails me!
